IMPROVEMENT lN TINWARE VESSELS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 213,056, dated March11, 1879 application filed June 4,1878.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, W. GEORGE MOORE, of Indianapolis, in the county ofMarion and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Tinware Vessels, of which the following is a description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to certain improve ments in the construction of thebottom of tinware vessels, the object of which is to prevent tinned-ironvessels from oxidation, and also to prevent the bottom from being Wornaway by attrition.

I am aware that previous to my invention tinware vessels have been madewith tinnediron sides and solid zinc bottoms, also with tinned-ironbottoms provided with indentations, in which plates of zinc have beensecured; and also tinnediron vessels have been made with a band of zincaround the inside at the union of the sides with the bottom, all ofwhich are designed to produce galvanic action and prevent oxidation ofthe exposed iron portions/ I am also aware that ordinary tinned'ironvessels have been made with an iron-wire ring soldered around the outeredge of the bottom to prevent attrition, and to such devices I make nobroad claim.

My invention consists of perforating the tinned-iron bottom of vessels,and covering the opening or hole with a plateof zinc, and also ofprotecting said zinc plate and bottom of the vessel from injury byrubbing against other substances, and at the same time support the jointbetween the bottom of the vessel and the zinc plate by securing ametallic ring around said hole, all of which will be hereinafter setforth and described.

In the accompanying drawing my invention by means of covers E of zinc,that are soldered fast to the bottom around the edges of the holes. Themetallic wire ring G is also soldered fast to the bottom D around theedge of the holes F, and forms a support to the joint between the bottomof the vessel and the zinc plate E, and also prevents said zinc plateand bottom D from rubbing against other substances, that would soondestroy them.

In the center of the zinc plate E may be soldered a button or knob, R,to further support and protect said plate.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- As anarticle of manufacture, a tinware vessel having a bottom, D, of tinnediron, with a hole, F, covered with a zinc plate, E, and protected fromattrition by a ring, G, which also supports the joint between the zincplate and bucket-bottom, substantially as shown and de scribed.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

W. GEORGE MOORE.
